Have you find some time to escape and use your My Paper Pumpkin kits? Go ahead and create! I find myself so refreshed and energized after I spend some time stamping and creating. At the same time I create I meditate in he Word and bless those I think of. It is a time to play I impatiently wait to have.

I indeed have many fabulous people in my life. Especially ladies! I thank God for women who lift me up, tolerate me on my weakest moments and celebrate me on my highest. To some of these I sent a card this month as a thank you note for their support in my Stampin'Up! dream. It has not been easy to take the business route especially when I've never felt as a business woman. But, I'm learning and my God always places encouraging women by my side to motivate me when I just wanna quit ;)

It is a simple card I cased from the Stampin'Up! 2013 catalog. I added my own pizzaz and colors (since I gotta have orange) and sent them before I left on vacation. I would not be where I am without them. Starting in a new state is not easy…so today more than ever I am grateful to have them and pray God gives me a new group of stamping pals soon. I am missing my ladies A LOT!!!

Today I would like to introduce my new Guest Designer, Sweet Sarah! She has become a sister to me in such a short period of time. I am glad to know this friend and artist. She doesn't only stamps but sews, hosts, cooks and homeschool several children. I am in awe of her strength and today I cherish her. Be blessed by her inspiring work. Thanks Sarah for your beautiful friendship. You are dear to my heart.

I love the idea of putting the ribbon in between two tags. This is one of my favorite stamp sets ever and I love how she watercolored the surroundings. Lovely job my sweet friend. I am blessed to see this.

Banners are in! Why not a card?
I wanted to do something different for this month's challenge at My Pumpkin Challenge- All Goes.
I cut a banner card with my Stampin'Up! trimmer :D and I loved it. This one is for a cool friend. She acts as if she has nothing to do when I ask her a favor, Oh my! But I know she is busy. Thanks dear CD for all you do.

Sorry..I'm out of town at the moment and changed computer :P so I kept all the other pictures with the other one. Hope you get inspired to create. If interested in the measurements I have them (at home!) so leave me a comment and Il send them your way asap!Disculpen, ando afuera de casita y deje mis fotos extras en la otra compu. Espero aun inspirarle a craer cosas lindad. Si le interesan las medidas dejeme un mensajito y se las mando tan pronto pueda

I invite you to honor your husband with me in different ways. Scrapbook about him, honor one of his request, make him a dessert or simply spend time with him. Then journal about it and share it HERE! It is time to rise and bring honor high in our homes. We choose to celebrate their strength and cover his weaknesses with grace.

Everything on this page was made with graphics already included in the MDS download. Check it out HERE! There is new downloads every Tuesday...yes today!

Creative Blessings!, Bendiciones Creativas!

Here is my little pocket I made with the Apothecary Framelits. It was simple but it definitely got a 10 score with my daughter. Two pieces of gum, 2 dollars (I used to get quarters!:O) a little card and a monogramed bookmark completed the gift. What do you do when your kids loose a tooth? I love to taking the opportunity to cherish them and let them know I really care about the little details in their lives. I am blessed to have them and truly they are growing too fast!!

I had to play with a couple of new Apps I got on my Iphone. Yikes! Technology is so tempting. Ha! I won't indulge on it every time, but for a sweet gift like this I thought I would play a bit. Tenia que jugar con unos apps bien chulos nuevos que puse en mi telefono. Chipas! Que chuleria, la tecnologia es tentadora. No podre hacerlo por ahora todo el tiempo pero para este dulce regalito funciona. :)

I have been blessed with a group of amazing friends. I moved recently from my loving Texas but part of my heart stayed there with my stamping friends. Today I introduce you to my Loving Jess! She is just amazing in so many ways and since I moved has been an incredible motivator. She just has a gift to create! Yeap...SERIOUSLY create! She has been posting so many cool cards, scrapbook pages and more. I'm overjoyed!

So what do I like the most about Loving Jess? Her attention to detail.

In the first card,did you see the embossed little heart? Loved it...white embossing. On this card her focus was the washi tape. Can you see it? Is beautiful, she mixed it with a strip of DSP. Great idea!

I totally love the colors and the 'celebration' mood that came with July's My Paper Pumpkin kit. So...since I have no baking tools to make cakes and decorate them with banners at the moment I decided to go in a card direction.

Island Indigo Cardstock and the new Honeycomb Texture Impression Embossing Folder put the twist on this fun card. Hope you like it! Hop over to My Pumpkin Challenge today to see what cool projects Boni and Heather posted today. Gotta love their creativity!

I am on a transitory season right now. Life is a bit unpredictable. I thought I was ok with change till I had no time to REALLY craft (as much as I like), post, participate in challenges, and have friends come over for stamping. Yeap! The 'joys' of moving and moving again. For the time being I have determined to focus on the positives. My husband is one of them!

I admire his commitment to protect me. I know that is one of his main callings as a husband and I think he does a great job at it. :) I feel undercover and that gives me a sense a security I would never trade. I am grateful for his stability and his commitment to protect me and our children. God gave me a bodyguard in him...for this and more I will honor him.

Here my latest idea on honoring my husband. Soon I would like to start making desserts and things like that. But all my cooking tools are in boxes in a storage far away. So My Digital Studio it is! Also, the Lord gave me a HINT the other day. I am NOT called to correct my husband. I am called to encourage him, build him up and help him. I know, a position of trust and surrender. I am blessed indeed and I can see God working in my heart as I choose to let God be God in his life and not me :s God is good!

If you would like to join me in this journey in honoring our husbands link your posts, pages or ideas HERE on my past MDS Honoring Husband's post. I would love to see what happens in our country when women rise up to give honor where honor is due! It is a step of faith. Read my previous post ;)

I was inspired by the new sketch at MDS Monday #27 by Joan Is all about shapes these two weeks. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello dear ones,Just meditating and sharing what's been in my heart for a couple of days. My days have been so hectic...I may need to tweek my agenda since I make it. Goodness! We got back from Central PA looking for homes tonight. No house yet :P but after a looong drive back home, doing baths, bedtime routines and all I sat with my DH to watch a couple of Food Network shows. My goodness! Why something so 'fun' as cooking has to be made a STRESS...for crying out loud (ok! first time I use that expression, lol!).Everything around us is stressful. If you do something well...according to the world standards is not good enough unless you do it in 0.2 seconds!! Gee! This needs to stop. That is a lie. You are good enough and you are very loved. :) On my trip back and forth from central PA today I kept meditating about the Hebrew word Shalom. I kept declaring this word, over me, my DH and children. I asked the Lord and even googled its meanings. There is a hunger in me to seek peace, true peace. The one that stays with you even if things don't go well.I still have much to learn. I want His peace in my heart. It is part of the Fruit of the Spirit. Last week I studied the story of Jesus blessing the children. I taught the kids the difference between a prayer and a blessing. They then started practicing blessing each other with these words: May God give you peace (following Numbers 6:24-26).So much to learn. Today I was putting it into practice. Trips with little kids are stressFULL.Life, traffic, appointments, and even cooking can become stressful. Are we masters in making things stressful? I'm asking my Lord to make ME a peace-maker. A creator of PEACE. In my home, my parenting (uf, I need that one), in my appointments, even while I cook and do other chores. Stress brings sickness...it distorts things and don't allow you to focus on what really matters. You may see less projects, but believe me God is working in my heart, I'm not only creating art, I'm creating life around. Il share a dream I had this week to see what do you think. In my dream I was teaching others how to make wax people. (Don't laugh!) Interesting to me, I was CREATING something beautiful, teaching it also...God gave me His ability to do that (even in my dream). I was making human figures with wax! And I was good at it. :) Well...one thing was missing in my dream for this I prayed and still will pray some more. In Genesis, God created mankind....beautifully and wonderfully...but it was not until He breathed on them that they were instruments of His peace. Make me an instrument of peace Lord. Breathe on me...I need to be full of you and your Holy Spirit. Breathe on me....He makes such beautiful things don't you think?!!There you have it...my artistisc loving heart, bringing my thoughts out loud. Life is crazy but the God of peace still reigns. Is He reigning in your life today with peace? He WANTS to do beautiful things.If you got DOOOWN here, most probably you know me and love me...thanks for reading. For you I dedicate this song cause He still loves MAKING beautiful things. He CREATES...I love that!Happy Sunday!

Hello my dear friends, today I am so super excited to show you what my talented friend and Stampin'Up! demonstrator Noelia Cavazos created. I invited Noelia to be part of this blog as my wonderful Guest Designer. And she CAN design! Yay! I love everything she makes. I met her through Stampin'Up! and I am ever so grateful she picked me as her demo. Now she is a demonstrator herself in Lubbock, TX. Eeeek! And is creating beauty everywhere she goes (nothing new thou!;)

For this beautiful card Noelia made a simple yet stunning bloom using the stamp set

Mixed Bunch. She is in love with the color green so I'm sure you will see more green along the way! Her sentiment is from Sassy Salutations and her embellishmen t one of those cute Candy Dot brads new to the Stampin'Up! catalog. Her twig comes from the Little Leaves Sizzlit Die.

Have you ever gotten a kit you have no idea how to use? Ha! That kind of hapenned to me with the July kit. But I LOVE the challenge. So many little details come with each kit is easy to come up with other ideas (in addition to the one given). July's kit has banners..cute little banners to place in a cake or on a scrap page. Hmmm....my creative juices are running!

Good morning my dear ones!
Have you ever wonder where have honor gone these days? Something is just not right. I hear the media, especially comedians bringing the integrity of men low so often that decided to see how I could make a difference. This is solely a step toward God's heart. He loves to honor others thou He is the only one TRULY worthy of praise. We have nothing to boast about.Buen dia amigas! Compartiendoles una idea bella en la que podemos honrar a nuestros esposos. Demasiada charlataneria se ve en los medios de comunicacion especialmente de comediantes donde ponen a los hombres abajo. Hagamos la diferencia. Honremos a nuestros esposos. Es una acto simple acercandonos al corazon de Dios. El ama honrar a otros mientras que el unico que VERDADERAMENTE se merece la honra es EL. En nada nos podemos gloriar.

So here I go to not only challenge myself but also challenge you to put pride aside and start looking at the blessings we have. I felt in my heart I need to bring honor to my husband in a different way. So bear with me during this growing process. Nothing too well-planned just going with the flow and asking the Lord to give me direction. Would you join with me in this journey?Aqui hoy me estoy retando a mi misma y tambien a ustedes a poner el orgullo a un lado y comenzar a ver lo lindo y no lo feo. Crezcan conmigo y siganme los pasos. Nada muy coordinado, solo creciendo en como honrar a mi esposo y en esa manera tambien honrar a mi Dios. Te me unes?

Il place a link below for you to link your creations or ideas on how we can bless more, praise more, lift THEM up more and make a difference in our husband's lives. It can be whatever idea not only scrap pages. TIP: our husbands do NOT have to be perfect or even his actions deserving of this. It is a pure action of faith AND love where we choose to look at the diamond inside and not the imperfections from the outside. Step into the water with me. Let's see what God does in us, and in them through the wonderful gift of honor. Pondre un linky tool abajo para que tambien compartan sus creaciones o ideas en como bendecir mas, levantar y honrar a nuestros maridos. DETALLITO: nuestros esposos no tienen que ser perfectos o sus acciones merecedoras de esto. Es una puro acto de fe Y de amr donde escogemos ver el diamante(lo bello) y no el carbon (las imperfecciones). Veamos que Dios hace en ellos y en nosotras a medida que les regalamos el regalo del honor.

Women, let's love our husbands. Let's do it in action, not only words.
Share your ideas or pages below. Again this is a work in progress. I will label this on the right-side bar as MDS & Honoring Husbands and do my best to keep at it every Tuesday as able (soon to go on a family trip). Oh my! I never stop, eh?! Mujeres, amemos a nuestros esposos. No en palabras solamente sino tambien en accion. Comparta sus ideas abajo. Esto es un proceso en el que estoy y quiero incluirla.

Hello my dear ones!Be blessed today with time to give thanks for all the wonderful things you have in your life. I'm teaching my kids to wake up in the morning and let the first words out of their mouths be "Thank You Jesus..." and whatever 3 things they want to thank him for.A grateful heart is indeed a happy heart!I am thankful for the many opportunities my Lord and Savior puts in front of me. One of them, creating with my hands. Stamping has been a sweet blessing. I never had great interest on paper crafts since I was very involved in Drama & Dance Arts. I used to lead and choreograph for a dance team at a previous church, also take Ballet, Modern and Jazz lessons for several years (these all after my 25 yrs old:). Then I got sick in 2006. I suffered weird seizures and used to loose my balance frequently. Long story short, the Lord introduce me to Stampin'Up! Is interesting I know. I say He did, cause I had a dream with the company and I knew He was leading me into something new. I prayed for a while and then got informed online and contacted the only demo I knew vaguely. She was not a demo any longer but referred me to her demo at the time, now my Upline Nance Paine. I am thankful for the opportunity to craft blessings for others. I had to stop dancing for a season, but the great news are my Lord Jesus indeed healed me from those attacks. I have them no more since and I am in no meds. God has been good to me. If you know me I dance to my heart's content at my church and home but only to His glory and in a rejoicing way of worship. I now also love to create for Him and follow His lead on my creative process. I am at the time praying His plans unfold with me in this company. Exciting!Thanks for gladly follow my posts through these years. You inspire me to share and embrace life as it comes. Giving always thanks for life and the privileges I already have at hand.Here a song to redirect your attention from me, from arts, from life to the Giver of it...Jesus.This blog's name was inspired by the words "Remember Jesus". It works real nice (since my name starts with J) for others to remember. But for me it is a constant reminder of focus your eyes ONLY on the Lord. He is THE ONE who loves me perfectly. My all to Him I give.

This song brought me to tears last Sunday. How much we long to see Him...and we will.

We all live in hard days, but He is perfectly faithful. Creative blessings!
